Dear Parents and Carers
We are into the home straight for 2021 and what a year it has been. I still feel that we are recovering from the disruption that was 2020 and I am hoping that we will not need to have a lock down as they have had to in the Eastern States. We are prepared though and all the details of how we will manage a lock down were sent home last term. If you did not receive this information or would like to refresh yourself on the process, the information is both in the front office and on our website.
Some families have not responded to our request as to whether you have access to the internet and computer hardware at home. It is essential that we know. That way if you do not, we can call and make arrangements for work packages to be picked up. A third note is going home to these families, please respond by returning the information to your child’s teacher.
Mondays Positive Behaviour Support Assembly will focus on - We are respectful when we respect other people’s personal space. Come along and watch the legendary teacher actors from A block demonstrate the Stop Behaviours to our students and some budding A Block student actors demonstrate the Start Behaviours. They may not be famous but they are fun.
Dancing starts on Monday for our Year 5 and 6 students and will run all term. This is ultimately for our Year 6’s and their Graduation night however it is one of the most important parts of our Physical Education program. It improves health and fitness, coordination, self-esteem, motivation, discipline, self-confidence, and most importantly the ability to socially interact with confidence. We do not make students participate however, we strongly motivate them as they will sit out at Graduation and have to watch as others have all the fun. Please encourage your children in Years 5 and 6 to participate.
Best wishes
Darryl Dedman
